Decades of Defense in Serious Criminal Matters
Marshall & Saunders is a distinguished criminal defense firm located in the heart of downtown Seattle. Founded in 1997, the firm has built a formidable reputation for handling some of the most sensitive and high-stakes cases in Washington State. Partners David S. Marshall and Joshua R. Saunders bring a unique blend of experience to the courtroom. David Marshall has over 30 years of experience and is widely recognized for his work in sex crime defense, while Joshua Saunders adds a background in public defense and a track record of acquittals in complex felony trials. We understand that facing a criminal allegation-particularly one involving sexual offenses or domestic violence-can be isolating and terrifying. Our mission is to stand between you and the power of the state, providing a defense that is both aggressive and deeply compassionate.
Specialized Defense Strategy
We do not dabble in general law; we focus intensely on criminal defense with a particular expertise in cases that require scientific and psychological scrutiny. Our practice areas include:
- Sex Offenses: We are one of the few firms with deep expertise in defending against allegations of sexual assault, child molestation, and internet crimes, often utilizing expert witnesses to challenge the state’s evidence.
- Domestic Violence: We defend clients against DV charges that threaten their families and careers, working to prevent no-contact orders from ruining lives.
- Child Abuse Allegations: We have a proven history of exposing false accusations and procedural errors in child abuse investigations.
- Violent Crimes: From assault to homicide, we provide a rigorous defense for individuals facing the most serious charges in the criminal justice system.
A Client-Centered Approach
At Marshall & Saunders, we believe that the presumption of innocence is not just a legal concept, but a guiding principle. We treat every client with dignity, never judging them by the accusations they face. Our attorneys are known for their ability to dismantle the prosecution’s case through meticulous investigation and superior legal writing. We have achieved numerous dismissals and acquittals by challenging the reliability of witness testimony and forensic evidence. When your freedom and reputation are on the line, you need a team that has been there before and knows how to win. ⚖
Do not face these serious charges alone. Contact Marshall & Saunders today for a confidential consultation and let us fight for your future.
